A disease in which inflammationA process of the immune system that involves chemicals released by immune cells (i.e. white blood cells) inducing localized heat, swelling, redness, and pain to an area that occurs when tissue becomes damaged or infected from a pathogen, and usually results in the desctruction and removal of the pathogen and/or healing to the tissue. In the case of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD), inflammation is the result of the incorrect targeting of the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) by the immune system, resulting in damage to myelin sheaths. of brain tissue caused by an infection or an autoimmuneA disease in which the immune system incorrectly targets and attacks an individual's own healthy cells. response results in swelling and damage.
